And also, I would like to remind everyone that learned helplessness is a choice. Voting is 1 of many steps to making a better world, and the rest are still on the table, even if they're more difficult now.

Hey all. I'm working on a HUGE project.
I am writing a large document, that goes state by state for the USA and outlines food assistance, housing vouchers, welfare programs, state based health insurances, LGBTQ+ resources, emotional and mental health care and if needed Asylum seeking information for various countries.
If you can help, I'm using Google Docs. Please Pm @SirHoofer if you can help. If not, please be safe and take care. I do run a support chat and will get anyone who wants the link in pm's as well.

Hi friends, I encourage you all to do something, right now. Go to a protest, make some friends. Join an org, talk to your coworkers about unionizing. Find mutual aid lists, donate. Help out grassroots organizers.
I'm broke and live in rural, rural Virginia, so I can't do too much in person, but I've made a point to pass around mutual aid documents and have also been sharing and intend to donate to reprorisingva.org, the website for an organization trying to enshrine reproductive rights into the Virginia constitution.
It's small, but a lot of small action adds up.

Made a new graphic series on how people can volunteer/donate resources to mutual aid to support houseless neighbors. Image 8 can be switched out to include local mutual aid orgs, for our purposes it currently has some seattle ones. image 10 is optional to include, we've just compiled a ton of resources and are in most of the national telegram chats and can point people in the right direction fairly quickly when asked. captions for each image will follow.

Men feeling ennoscriptd to female affection + men suddenly facing sweeping statements about their gender they weren't exposed to previously + the left failing to provide non-toxic masculine role models while the right provides the worst ones possible = The super misogynistic anti-feminism prevalent at the moment.
I do believe that the rise in particularly rancid misogyny right now comes from previously unexamined male privileges/attitudes suddenly being (rightly tbh) called into question and men getting violently defensive about their inherent advantages in society, but I also believe that the left's willingness to criticize without providing meaningful alternatives to toxic masculinity/examples of positive masculinity exacerbated the issue, and it's something the right deliberately capitalized on to create a truly horrific backlash.
